Soldiers stand in formation for a full-scale review on a stateside training base parade ground, the 48-star American flag snapping in the wind beside a command guidon. In the background, hundreds of additional troops march in close ranks past rows of wooden barracks. Ceremonies like this were a regular feature of the intensive training undergone by units such as the 101st Airborne Division before their deployment overseas to England in advance of the Normandy invasion.
